A Change of strategy and A Fresh Start

Have you been battling the same issues for some time? Do you continue to use the same strategy to overcome it? If you have been doing the same old thing you are destined to get the same results. Acts 3:2-7 describes a man who had been lame since birth. Throughout his life, he would lay in front of the temple asking for money. Peter and John, upon seeing this man, instructed him to arise and walk in Jesus’ name and immediately he did! We all find ourselves in one of three stages in our lives waiting, receiving, or moving. No matter what stage you are in, it is important to continue to seek God to move forward. What could God be telling you to do differently today to proceed forward?

Each day gives us a new opportunity to seek God’s guidance, to reflect and regroup, to breathe deeply of God, and receive direction from God for the day ahead. The newness of each day reflects God’s ongoing work of grace, grace that frees us from the past and offers a way forward. Grace offers God’s presence and power at the point of your need.

The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. Lamentations 3:22-23

Where do you need a fresh start? Have you been waiting for God to show up, and he has, and now it’s time for you to declare you are arising and walking today?

This is my Prayer: God help me to always seek You every day and in everything. Thank You for fresh starts. Jesus please come to me and show me how to move forward. Help me to move forward from this day on as one who extends grace to others so that they, too, can have fresh starts. In Jesus name, Amen.
